Description

A good long route on semi-solid rock.

Steep and sustained, Pocket Full of Trundles starts on small, positive holds and a cool flake. The climbing quickly turns tricky, and surprises you with powerful crux. Find a nice rest around bolt two then continue on up about 15 feet to the route's redpoint crux just below a large positive pocket. Small deceiving holds through a mini bulge wear the weary climber out, keep truckin' to a decent rest or two then finish direct on the steep, pumpy face.

Long and continuous Pocket Full of Trundles is a trademark route and the second best warm-up for the area.

This is a great route to build endurance and practice strategic use of rests. The crux is low and tricky, I'd have had trouble figuring it out without help from a friend who had already climbed it. It is bolted really well, but because the crux is low, a stick clip is a good idea, maybe even for the first two bolts. After the second bolt, all the holds are good, and it is just a question of using rests wisely. There is a section about 3/4 the way up where there are a bunch of 2 and 3 finger pockets in a row that are a bit challenging and interesting. All in all, a great route.
